Ok it seems our resident geniuses came to play on page 2..read what they say as it's interesting and you could learn a little,but ignore it...if you can't pay to play just get a secondhand turbo for now and start saving coin for the real thing.. Because a half baked skyline, isn't really a skyline at all ;)

yea i have a bit of saving to do. my car isnt even on the road yet as it shit itself before i could even get a roady for it which i think was my 3rd drive in it haha, i have got an offer of a second hand greddy ultimate already but not sure how long till i'll even be able to use it. i also need to get my manual license and do a conversion before i start winding it up like crazy. (only on my first year of green p's btw). thanks for the suggestions and help :) that's a thanks to everyone else on here as well btw

afms suck...map ftw

I don't necesarily think so, if they all "suck" as you say why would manufacturers use AFM instead of all going to MAP sensors?

AFMs cost more than MAP sensors.

Not sure about these days, but back in the days when I fooled around with tuning cars for friends I found that cars using MAP sensors instead of AFMs had a flat spot transitioning from -ve to +ve plenum pressure, could be ECU related so I don't know. However, I'm getting an Adaptronic ECU soon and running a MAP sensor so I'll find out for myself 1st hand.

I can high flow stock turbo so they work fine with factory ECU and still make bit more power then standard. But they don't make much power if you have plans for supporting mods.

Light blue is factory turbocharger.

It has nistune installed. But the response and torque delivery is identical to factory turbo. So if you run it on 10psi with stock ecu it has stock turbocharger's drive ability.

So you determined that your factory turbo is actually broken and the cause of your problem or are you just buying a new turbo because you still don't know what caused your initial issues?

i had a little understatement earlier, hasnt been in my garage in a while and realise the turbo blades were caked in oil and there was oil coming from the centre housing. so far i have it down to turbo and cooler pipes. sparks plugs had a bit of carbon but no more then you'd expect from 8 months old plugs

yeah its just a personal preferance ;)

if your turbo still has blades then its not blown....turbo blades caked in oil is often just excessive blowby...maybe invest in an oil catch can first...

yea im investing in a catch can too, need to find a thread on whats good. the shaft had play in it too and i cant get that repaired sop i went high flow. might as well upgrade while its there.

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
